Commercial biotechnology: an international analysis
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6482352
This report assesses the competitive position of the United States with respect to Japan and four European countries - the Federal Republic of Germany, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and France - believed to be the major competitors in the commercial development of new biotechnology. Although the United States is currently the world leader in both basic science and commercial development of new biotechnology, continuation of the initial preeminence of American companies in the commercialization of new biotechnology is not assured. Japan and other countries have identified new biotechnology as a promising area for economic growth and have therefore invested quite heavily in R and D in this field. Congressional policy options for improving US competitveness in new biotechnology are identified in this report.
